At the same time back at the store, her Mystery Woman (the bookstore) employee, Philby (played by Clarence Williams III, an original "Mod Squad" member), and his associate, Desmond (Michael Cole, also of "Mod Squad" fame so it's a two thirds "Mod Squad" reunion) hunt down a "long dead" clairvoyant. Desmond wants Philby to go back to his old job as a secret agent of the U.S. Government but it doesn't look likely.
